• Yu Xiaofeng entered Treasure Gathering Pavilion and marveled at its immortal-jade walls, floors, and ceilings and its tall display cabinets.

Yu Xiaofeng tried to buy Rejuvenation Pill ingredients at Treasure Gathering Pavilion for use in his body cultivation, but the Great Beauty limited the sale until Bookworm revealed his identity as Array Dao Sect's Dao Child. The chapter ended with Eldest Miss Lin learning why Yu Xiaofeng wanted the ingredients and suggesting Healing Fluid as an alternative.

Yu Xiaofeng negotiated with Great Beauty for Rejuvenation Pill ingredients and began refining pills in a quiet room, relying on Bai Youran’s guidance. His first attempt ended with an explosion, leaving him soot-covered as Bai Youran pointed out his weak flame control.

• Yu Xiaofeng claimed he was an alchemist, and Great Beauty invited him upstairs to discuss a deal for Rejuvenation Pills.

• Bai Youran taught Yu Xiaofeng alchemy precautions, and he used his Turning Eye to process the ingredients all at once.
• Yu Xiaofeng’s cauldron exploded and covered him in soot, and Bai Youran said his flame control had caused it.

Yu Xiaofeng refined Rejuvenation Pills under Bai Youran’s guidance, then shocked Great Beauty and Eldest Miss Lin by producing ten thousand pills of mid- and high-grade quality. He turned down Eldest Miss Lin’s budding affection and requested hundreds of pill furnaces and a million bottles so he could continue refining.

• Eldest Miss Lin learned that Yu Xiaofeng was connected to the Lu Family while Bookworm tried to keep his family details private.
• Bai Youran guided Yu Xiaofeng through repeated attempts at refining Rejuvenation Pills, and he came close to producing supreme-grade pills before his furnace exploded.
• Eldest Miss Lin cleaned Yu Xiaofeng up and admitted that she liked him, so he asked Bookworm to explain his situation and returned to alchemy.
• Yu Xiaofeng gave Great Beauty ten thousand Rejuvenation Pills as payment for the medicinal ingredients and requested five hundred pill furnaces and one million porcelain bottles.
• Great Beauty and Eldest Miss Lin examined the pills and discovered that the batch contained mid-grade and high-grade Rejuvenation Pills, astonishing everyone present.

• Yu Xiaofeng traded nine thousand top-grade Rejuvenation Pills for ingredients for fifteen thousand batches of Nourishing Spirit Pills and an emperor-grade Alchemy Cauldron.

• Yu Xiaofeng refined Nourishing Spirit Pills in as many as one hundred and fifty furnaces at once, strengthening his Soul Power, then slept through the night.
• Bookworm Wu Jian, Great Beauty Zi Xuan, and Eldest Miss Lin opened the quiet room door to wake Yu Xiaofeng, whose Rebirth Eye released pressure that made Great Beauty Zi Xuan suspect his cultivation was far beyond what he showed.

• Yu Xiaofeng asked Great Beauty Zi Xuan for a weapon, and she showed him the Ice Phoenix Spear, a heavy mid-grade Emperor Tier Immortal Artifact.

• Zi Xuan’s father reminded her of her past costly mistakes and challenged her claims, pointing out that she had not watched Lu Xiaofeng refine pills and questioning why a Lu Family heir would seek a position in the Pavilion.
• Zi Xuan fell silent as her father argued that Lu Xiaofeng’s supposed reasons for joining the Treasure Gathering Pavilion did not make sense.

Yu Xiaofeng learned from Zi Xuan that demon beast blood and Demon Cores could be used to temper his body, then rapidly absorbed a Demon Core and gathered a large supply. He left with his companions and asked Bookworm to save Demon Cores for him, but Bookworm suggested he ask his master at the Seven Star Sect.

• The old aunt rejected her father's expectations and chose to trust Yu Xiaofeng, then privately gave him a Black Card and explained an ancient body-tempering method using demon beast blood and Demon Cores.
• Yu Xiaofeng tried a Grade 1 Demon Core and absorbed it so quickly that it turned to ash, astonishing the old aunt.

The group learned that an Emperor Tier true dragon guarded the cave, while Yu Xiaofeng considered how it might connect to the next chapter of his cultivation record.

• Yu Xiaofeng grew unhappy that his family members had to stand, but Tianxuan persuaded him to stay calm and consider why Yu Qingshan had arranged the gathering.

• Yu Xiaofeng learned from Lu Xiangtian how he had discovered the illusory-seeming underwater cave while chasing a Red-tailed Fish, and that he and Yu Xiaofeng's mother had a connection to the manual.
• A black-robed man objected to searching for the cave together, suspecting the Heavenly Dao Sect would be used as cannon fodder, before Sword Immortal Wu Daoran arrived.

• Yu Xiaofeng challenged Agui to a literary contest after their argument escalated, while Tianxuan Zhenren warned him to be careful.
